• [$] A high-memory elimination timeline for the kernel

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Wed Dec 24 06:40:07 2025
    Arnd Bergmann began his 2025 Linux
    Plumbers Conference session on the future of 32-bit support in the
    Linux kernel by saying that it was to be a followup to his September talk on the same topic. The
    focus this time, though, was on the kernel's "high memory" abstraction, and when it could be removed. It seems that the kernel community will need to support 32-bit systems for some time yet, even if it might be possible to remove some functionality, including support for large amounts of memory on those systems, more quickly.
